Recall Abortion offers a unique look at America’s most divisive issue

Americans are savvy consumers. When a product does not live up to its promise, we boycott, we sue and finally, we demand a government recall. Forty years ago, Americans were sold a new product: Legal abortion. We were assured that legal, accessible abortion on demand was needed to elevate the rights of women and improve the lives of children. We believed these lies and we lined up outside clinics to buy this product.

But abortion has exploited women, not empowered them. Abortion has allowed us to see children as commodities whose very existence depends on our whim. Abortion has killed more than 50 million unborn Americans and left millions of their mothers wounded, emotionally and physically.

Isn’t it time to recall abortion?

Recall Abortion, the first book by longtime pro-life activist Janet Morana, examines the societal changes that led to legal abortion and the lies that ensure it continues to be one of the most common medical procedures for women. Through research, interviews with medical professionals and testimonies of women who have had abortions, Ms. Morana takes apart the myth that abortion is safe and necessary health-care and shows the abortion industry for what it is: A profit-driven, unscrupulous and often criminal enterprise that victimizes women.

Catholic author and syndicated talk-show host Teresa Tomeo believes Recall Abortion “will put abortion right where it belongs, on a worldwide ‘Hall of Shame’ episode and the top of the recall list.” Wendy Wright of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) says the book “provides a compelling case against the primary selling points for abortion.”

The book will be available Jan. 22 from Saint Benedict Press and can be pre-ordered now for $20 per copy at PriestsforLife.org/store.

In his foreword for Recall Abortion, Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, wrote: “If we start with a listening heart and a dose of good will, we can see a common question bridging the pro-life, pro-choice divide and uniting those who care about women. The question is: What does abortion do to those who undergo it? What kind of promises does it make, and does it deliver on those promises?”

Those questions, which cut right to the heart of the abortion debate, are answered in Recall Abortion.

Janet Morana is the executive director of Priests for Life, co-founder of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, and co-host of EWTN’s “Defending Life” and “The Catholic View for Women.” To arrange an interview, call Leslie Palma or Andre Kim at 347-286-7277 or send an email to media@priestsforlife.org

Can't wait to read this!! Thank you so much for writing it and for all you do for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, Janet. I hope to see you in person at the March for Life on Jan 25 in Washington DC.ABORTION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!!! I was lied to and sincerely wish i hasn't bought my abortion in 1981. Abortion is defective, offensive, brutal & violent!!! My child had her arms and legs torn off and i've had MANY physical, emotional & spiritual problems including post-abortion syndrome!!! We need to DEMAND that the industry come clean and finally tell women the truth about what they are actually getting with abortion. Then it will go away because no one will want it!!!! Please, Lord, make it go away!!!!

BUT FOR 3 VOTES…I search for the heart of the matter,As my heart continues to shatter.How can it be,That but for three,Fifty million hearts would beat.Instead, our nation in full retreat.7-2 was the score,The Prince of Darkness shut the door.Three votes the other way,Millions of children would be alive today.America’s character totally polluted,Three thousand babies a day, denied justice and executed.No judge, no jury, and no trial,What could be more vile?Broken in two America needs to be,The entire country at the foot of the tree.JESUS, I see a tear in Your eye,I look at the carnage and wonder why?I truly don’t know what to do,I just keep looking for You.Is it time for You to disrupt,JESUS, I pray You will show up.A holy fire needs to be lit,Time to stir things up a bit.Making people feel comfortable is not my call,For the little ones help me stand tall.Help me stand and risk being hated,The silent holocaust must be abated.

Let's really push pre-orders so that when the book comes out on Jan 22, it will be on the best-seller list. They did this with unPlanned, and it worked very well.
